Three ways to arrange mobile dental care
General dental and denture services for nursing home residents, with private visits, group bookings and ongoing partnerships.
1. Private callout
A resident’s family can arrange and privately fund a dedicated visit to their nursing home.
From €795
- Final callout price depends on the distance to the nursing home.
- Fillings, extractions and dentures are charged separately.
- Dentures require at least three appointments.
Planning denture care? Ask our team to confirm treatment and follow-up callout charges when arranging your visit.
Choose the right level of care
We offer three ways to work with us, from a private visit to a long-term nursing home partnership.
- Private callout: a dedicated visit for one resident.
- Day rate: see multiple residents during a full or half day.
- Service Level Agreement: ongoing dental support for your residents.
2. Day rate for multiple residents
Book our team to see multiple residents in one visit, ideal for oral assessments, denture reviews or planned treatment days.
Full day

Dublin, Kildare, Wicklow, Meath and Louth.
All other counties: €3,300 per full day.

RECOMMENDED LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIP
3. Service Level Agreement
Ongoing dental care for your residents, with Dentaltech coordinating treatment funding and family communication to reduce administration for your team.
Regular care and team support
- Two on-site oral exams and cleanings for all residents each year.
- Additional visits for new admissions and residents who previously declined.
- Daily oral care plans and ongoing treatment plans for each resident.
- TeleDental access for urgent online assessments.
- Oral care training for your entire team.
On-site treatment and denture support
- On-site extractions, new dentures, denture refitting and relining.
- Digital denture scans to support replacement if dentures are lost.
- Fast digital reprinting of lost dentures using 3D-printed acrylic dentures.
Treatment funding: Treatments are funded first through the resident’s Medical Card, subject to approval. If not approved, we coordinate directly with the family at no extra administration cost to the nursing home.
Your quotation will confirm the services covered by the weekly fee and any treatment charges funded separately.
Weekly partnership pricing
Rates depend on your nursing home’s bed count and location. Our team can explain the applicable charges and enrolment arrangements for your home.
Typical resident fee
€11.44–€25
Per resident, per week.
The fee typically charged to residents depends on your total bed count.
Dentaltech charge to the nursing home
€6.25–€19.98
Per resident, per week, from the resident fee.
The applicable rate depends on beds and location.
How the model works: Pricing is fixed per bed regardless of resident turnover. Your nursing home can charge residents for this additional dental service, and the model can become cost neutral at around 70–80% enrolment. Ask our team for a quotation showing the contracted bed count, applicable rate and enrolment calculation for your home.

Dental care & the Medical Card
The Medical Card dental cover (the Dental Treatment Services Scheme, or DTSS) is designed around patients visiting a dental practice. Most residents in nursing homes have a valid Medical Card but lack the ability to access services in a normal setting as they are not mobile. Through our mobile service we arrange DTSS cover directly with the HSE for eligible residents.
Residents without a valid Medical Card can access the same services — any additional treatment plan is always discussed and approved in writing before treatment commences, so there are no surprises.
Covered for Medical Card holders
✓ Teeth extractions
✓ Up to 2 fillings per calendar year
✓ New dentures every 5 years (subject to prior approval)
✓ Lost dentures (subject to prior approval)
✓ Denture refitting / relining (subject to prior approval)
